Chile
is known for having created an enormous amount of distinct words and
expressions. Consequently, the Spanish spoken in Chile is frequently
indiscernible to gringos and native Spanish speakers alike. This dictionary
and phrasebook collects more than 1,500 terms and idioms, known as
chilenismos, and expresses them in simple English. The book also explores
the roots of chilenismos and explains the grammatical constructions
and idiosyncratic speech patterns particular to Chileans.

The Gringo's Culture Guide to Chile is designed to help you understand Chileans, their culture, food, language, and daily life so you can enjoy your time in this beautiful country and not be blindsided by culture shock.
